Definitions

  • Coiled steel tubing finds a number of uses in oil well operations. For example, it is used in running wireline cable down hole with well tools, such as logging tools and perforating tools. Such tubing is also used in the workover of wells, to deliver various chemicals.
  • Steel coiled tubing is capable of being spooled because the steel used in the product exhibits high ductility (i.e. the ability to plastically deform without failure).
  • the spooling operation is commonly conducted while the tube is under high internal pressure which introduces combined load effects.
  • fatigue damage and the steel coiled tubing can suddenly fracture and fail.
  • the hazards of the operation and the high personal and economic cost of failure in down time in fishing operations forces the product to be retired after relatively few trips into a well.
  • the cross section of steel tubing expands during repeated use, causes reduced wall thickness and results in lower pressure allowables and higher bending strains.

In the Fig. 4 embodiment, "a wider choice of axial angles of filaments in the layers" is permitted.

Policelli suggests that the fiber angles can be selected in a range between 5° and
  • U.S. Patent No. 4,728,224 to Salama discloses a composite mooring tendon on interspersed layers of carbon fibers and aramid fibers, the fibers being axial or low angle helical wrap. A layer of 90° wrap fibers can be provided as an external jacket.

  • the tubing which is preferably spoolable comprises a composite tubular member having an outer cylindrical member containing fibers oriented to resist internal pressure and provide low bending stiffness, a smaller inner core member located close to the neutral axis of the composite tubular member containing fibers oriented to provide high axial stiffness, high tensile strength and low bending stiffness and web members, containing fibers oriented to resist shear stress, connecting the outer cylindrical member and the inner core member to form at least two separate cells within the composite tubular member.

  • Composite fibers (graphite, Kevlar*. fiberglass, boron, etc.) have numerous assets including high strength, high stiffness, light weight, etc., however, the stress-strain response of composite fibers is approximately linear to failure and therefore non ductile.
  • Composite coiled tubing must therefore address the strain limitations in another manner, i.e., by providing a design to meet the requirements with a near elastic response.
  • Such a composite design must have high resistance to bending stresses and internal pressure. It must also have high axial stiffness, high tensile strength and be resistant to shear stress. All of these properties are combined in the composite tubular member of the invention to provide a coiled tubing which can be bent to a radius compatible with a reasonable size spool.
  • Figure 1 shows a cross-sectional view of a composite tubular member which is made up of a composite cylindrical member 8, a composite inner core member 2 and four composite web members 6 which connect inner core member 2 with composite cylindrical member 8 to form four equal cells 7.
  • Composite cylindrical member 8 contains fibers which are cross-plied and oriented at ⁇ 55° to the axis of the tubular member.
  • the ( ⁇ ) signifies opposite orientation of the fibers at the degrees indicated. This orientation of the fibers is the optimum to achieve maximum structurally efficiency for outer cylindrical member 8 when such member is subjected to bending and is under internal pressure loading.
  • Outer cylindrical member 8 will usually contain from about 5 to about 10 percent fibers which are oriented at approximately 90°, that is, approximately perpendicular to the axis of the composite tubular member. The inclusion of the 90° fibers lowers the Poisson's ratio of the composite tubular member toward 0.5 and carries the shear stress during bending to better resist delamination in such member.
  • the inner core member 2 which is centrally located in the composite tubular member contains fibers which are oriented at 0° to the axis of the tubular member to meet the requirement for high axial stiffness and high tensile strength and are so located to permit the composite tubular member to exhibit a low bending stiffness. Concentrating the high axial stiffness portion of the composite tubular member at the center of the cross- section minimizes the axial strain in the fibers during bending. Axial loading and thermal expansion may cause shear and transverse stresses, which may cause cracks in core member 2, therefore it is desirable to provide in this member, some fibers which are cross-plied and oriented at ⁇ 45° to the axis of the tubular member to provide resistance to delamination.
  • the ⁇ 45° oriented material which may be provided either in the form of a uni ⁇ directional or woven fabric or braided material is usually present in inner core 2 in an amount between about 5 and about 25 percent.
  • Composite web members 6 contain fibers oriented at ⁇ 45° to the axis of the tubular member. The web is a region of high shear and a ⁇ 45° orientation of the fibers is the optimum angle ply to resist shear loading.
  • the fibers contained in the outer cylindrical member, the centrally located core member and the web members are held together with a plastic binder such as vinyl ester, epoxy, or a thermoplastic or thermosetting resin.
  • a plastic binder such as vinyl ester, epoxy, or a thermoplastic or thermosetting resin.
  • Fibers of different materials and different resins may make it advantageous to use fibers of different materials and different resins for the three components of the composite tubular member.
  • the high stiffness and high strength core requirements of the central core member may best be met by using 0° graphite fibers.
  • lower cost and higher strain to failure of glass fibers may make fiber glass the material of choice for the outer cylindrical member and the web members.
  • Other fibers which also may be used are ceramic fibers, polymer fibers, for example, from Kevlar* polymer which is a product of the Du Pont Company and from Exten* polymer which is product of The Goodyear Corporation.
  • the plastic binders mentioned, among others may be used in the preparation of the components of the composite tubular member from these materials.
  • the size of the various components in the composite tubular member will depend on the size of this member. If the composite tubular member is used as coiled tubing, it will usually have a diameter of not more than about 2 inches.
  • the outer composite cylindrical member in a coiled tubing will have a thickness of between about 0.15 and about 0.40 inches.
  • the inner core member of such coiled tubing will have a diameter of between about 0.2 and about 0.5 inches and the web members will be between about 0.10 and about 0.25 inches thick.
  • Kevlar* frit may be used for this purpose.
  • the composite tubular member may buckle and at the points of buckling, impose a normal force on the walls of the casing or open hole. This force will create friction as the tubular member is moved down the hole.
  • the exterior of the composite tubular member may be covered with a protective abrasion resistant cover 10 to resist such wear and friction.
  • Kevlar*, Teflon*, Nylon, Rilsan*, Hytrel*, or Kevlar* frit may be used to form this protective covering.
  • the axial strain in the fiber due to bending in both the outer cylindrical member and the web members of the composite tubular member is significantly lower than would be similarly placed 0° oriented fibers.
  • Typical reductions in the ratio of fiber strain to the imposed axial strain for a cross-plied laminate presented as a function of the cross-ply angle are presented in the graph of Figure 2 using representative properties of a high strength graphite fiber. It is noted that for angles greater than approximately ⁇ 25° the fiber strain is less than half the axial strain imposed on the laminate and rapidly reduces for larger cross-ply angles.
  • the cylindrical shape of the composite tubular member is also well suited for introducing such member into the well with the belt drive mechanism which is normally used to force the tubular member downhole.
  • the subdivision of the composite tubular member into cells has additional utility for workover and logging operations. Individual cells can be used for transporting different fluids downhole, for controlled circulation (down one cell and up another), and for ducts for channeling electrical and other communication lines downhole.
  • the four cell configuration shown in Figure 1 provides rigid, structural continuity between the solid core and the composite cylindrical outer member. Under extreme bending, the composite tubular member may experience a so-called brazier flattening effect which serves to help relieve bending strains.

  • the cells are lined with an abrasive, chemically resistant material 14 and the exterior of the composite tubular member is protected by an abrasion resistant cover 20.
  • One advantage of the composite tubular member shown in Figure 3 is that the core containing the 0° oriented fibers will assume large displacement away from the center of the cross-section of the composite tubular member during bending along with tube flattening to achieve a minimum energy state. This deformation state has the beneficial result of lowering critical bending strains in the tube. The secondary reduction in strain will also occur in composite tubular members containing a larger number of cells, but is most pronounced for the two cell configuration.

  • the central core member and the web members are combined to form a single web member of uniform cross-section extending through the axis of the composite tubular member.
  • the material tailoring of this invention creates a major and minor moment of inertia and forces a preferred direction of bending.

Downhole, the buckle pattern will be a mixed mode having one period associated with the minor moment of inertia and a longer, smaller curvature mode associated with the major moment of inertia.
  • the advantage of this configuration is that more high stiffness and high strength material can be placed in the core without significant increase in the associated bending strains or sacrifice in the minimum radius curvature permitted for spooling.
